Where does the courage to commit suicide come from?

When we see scenes of people destroying their lives, throwing themselves off the top of a building or in front of a car, or shooting themselves in the head, we ask, “how does he have the courage to commit such a drastic act”.

The answers are: problems with no apparent solution, such as debt, the loss of a great love, spousal betrayal, and so forth. But all these situations are arguments used by people who think that by having their soul separated from their body (death), they will go into an environment of peace and find the solution to their problems. However, they are wrong and unfortunately, plunge deep into an abyss where their new problem is insoluble and eternal.

“And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs,” Luke 8.27

When we take a closer look at the Word of God, we see that the courage of taking your own life comes from the unbearable torment done by the devil, who uses the situations mentioned above.

The Gadarene felt like this. He lived among the tombs seeking relief. He did not wear clothes because his agony was so great that even clothes bothered him. Instead of living at home, he spent his days wandering around. How many people live like this? Or maybe you are reading this message and find yourself in this situation?

“For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles, and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness,” Luke 8.29

There were so many demons tormenting that poor man, that he hallucinated, and his strength multiplied to the point of shattering chains and shackles.

The Lord Jesus ordered those demons to leave the man and they attacked the pigs that were grazing nearby. Notice how they reacted to the thought of being tormented in hell.

“Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned,” Luke 8.33

Now I understand the courage of giving up on life, or someone hurting themselves to death. They just want to put an end to their suffering, which is caused by the devil, thinking that their motive is one of the situations mentioned above. Therefore, all of us who have the knowledge of the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, can not tire of doing what is good, showing these people a light at the end of the tunnel and fighting for their souls, until the last seconds of our life here on earth.

Be a soul winner.

Where you live, work or study, surely there is someone thinking, thought or has attempted to commit suicide. God is counting on you to prevent such a tragedy!

that is very true because sometimes even the person that is sitting next to you every day is going through a similar situation and we do not know that’s why it is important for us to save souls by telling people about the love of Jesus Christ.

Its so heartbreaking when you hear a person saying that life is so terrible that he thinks he”d be better off dead.That when they die they will have ever lasting peace because they believe God will understand why they killed themselves.But this is another way the devil tricks people into believing that and taking souls to hell.This makes me so angry and Bishop I vow to save souls until my last day here on earth.People suffer out there thinking there’s no solution.So when we go to people and bring them to God they will have a solution forever and ever.If the Holy Spirit has given me a second chance at life and has saved me, I believe the least bit I can give back is to save others and give to them what I have received free of charge and eternal.

Yes, Bp I remember 2 times in my life where the spirit of death tried to take me through suicide. I was at a very low point and was not able to see the solution and way out. Thank God, I don’t accept this as an option; had the grace and Spirit of God not heard my plea’s for help, I would not be here today. Soul winning is very important and having a heart after God’s is the key to winning souls. Sincerity and love for God brings love for souls, as you’re filled with God’s love, which is for souls.

exactly bishop and the same way this people have courage to take their own lives without allowing fear to stop them I must have the same courage to reach out to them.I have my salvation kit with me at all times am ready to be used.

Very True Bishop I too remember when I was plague with this type of thoughts. Because of the suffering I experienced in life I would constantly blame myself, the world and only thought that came to mind was to commit suicide. The devil will constantly plague me with thoughts that I didn’t deserve to leave I was worthless because of abuse I suffered. All I saw was pain, unhappiness, loneliness and suffering that even my family couldn’t take away though I had loving mother who fight to give me joy. I only became free the Day I found the Lord Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit at the UCKG. I found the strength to forgive and forget and TRUE it is that we will forgive and forget.
Without the Holy Spirit it is impossible to be free and have clear mind even to think before the person commits suicide, therefore as soul winners we should strive to plant a seed in the mind of the person which will help him/her to think when face this situations that there is a way out. Because I can surly say that without coming and learning about the Lord Jesus in the UCKG I would have been one of these victims.

Yes its true bishop many people think that committing suicide will solve their problem but the meter of fact is deth never solved any problem but Jesus can help you in any situation take Jesus as your lawyer

I greet all in the Mighty Name of Jesus, this is how Got came into my life during these 21 days of the fast of Daniel. I made a prayer to God, that I have been telling myself that I have received the Holy Spirit, may I have the assurance, I took my Envelope for Sacrifice, I dint have anything to sacrifice, even petrol in my car. On Friday 12 April, I took a day off at work, I told myself that I will find a way to raise my sacrifice, I took my last P20, put petrol, went around the nearest villagies around Gaborone, delivering people, but the difficult was that when I come back, I have to put petrol again, for the whole day I did my sacrifice, Saturday evening I knelt down and told God, tomorrow, Sunday, I wont leave your House without the assurance of my salvation. God assured me, I am very very happy inside. On Monday, 15 April, my sister called me from Orapa, that she is on sick leave she had a headache, I just sent her a message that Be Healed and Jesus’s Name. Tuesday morning, at around 0500 a.m. she sent a msg that, you know what after reading you message, I completely god healed and I went outside feeling like something has been removed from my body, she said thank you for your prayer, I said, THANK YOU JESUS. Ke leboga Modimo ebile ke ikaelela go direla Modimo ka bojotlhe jame. Modimo o segofatse o bo o godise kereke ya Universal. Amen

I never what to stop loving the souls or for the light of God to go out of me but after reading your comment I what to be more of a soul winner so that God can still count on me to help those close to me and to prevent the tragedy of that souls going to hell for ever. after all that why I am here on earth and not in heaven.

This is very true bishop on 23rd march for my family situation i tried but god spoke to me and i participate in 21 days fasting i sacrifice everything i commit my life to jesus on 14 April “Oh what a day i shower with Holy Spirit ” thankyou Bishop
